Data Loggers
BDL 50
Berg BDL 50 energy data loggers are designed for time-synchronous acquisition and intermediate storage of energy consumption information or measured values from M-Bus and Modbus/RTU measuring networks. As M-Bus or Modbus/RTU masters, they periodically retrieve meter readings, measured values, or load values from the media meters or sensors and pass them on to the Efficio energy data acquisition and analysis system.
Depending on the number of meters or sensors to be recorded, the data logger can temporarily store the measured values and time stamps for several weeks.
The BDL 50 is designed with a level converter for the connection of up to 50 M-Bus terminal devices (standard-compliant according to EN13757). Commissioning is carried out in a very simple and effective way via an assistant in the Efficio software. In the first step, the network parameters are imported into the data logger via a USB stick. In the second step, Efficio finds connected meters or sensors and offers the measuring points for data storage.
Features
- BDL 50 M-Bus/Modbus data logger for the Efficio energy management system
- Internal level converter for 50 M-Bus standard loads
- Ethernet interface for network connection
- 16 GB microSD archive memory for logging measured values
- Minute-by-minute polling of M-Bus or Modbus/RTU media meters (electricity, heat, water, compressed air, gas, etc.)
- Compact design for top-hat rail mounting

Skalar.pro Universal Data Logger
The Skalar.pro universal data logger has been designed for the acquisition of instantaneous meter readings and the readout of data memories from electricity meters. Thanks to the integrated synchronization function, it cyclically synchronizes the real-time clocks of Berg DCLi meters and thus creates the basis for standard-compliant meter reading recording according to PTB-A 50.7.
Up to 16 DCLi meters can be connected serially per Skalar.pro for third-quantity delimitation. If required, an M-Bus level converter for up to eight DCMi M-Bus meters and a pulse acquisition module for up to four DCi S0 pulse meters can be integrated in the housing.
Skalar.pro generates virtual load profiles in 15-minute time intervals from the recorded meter readings of the DCMi or the pulse readings of the DCi electricity meters and stores them, together with the readings from the DCLi meters, in its long-term memory in CSV format.
The load profiles are transmitted at programmable time intervals by the universal data logger via network or mobile radio to an SFTP server or directly to the energy data management software Efficio in push mode and form the basis for continuous or standard-compliant recording of the connected consumption meters.
The consumption meter type, the format of the storage files, and their transmission is pre-parameterized via the Web server integrated in Skalar.Pro. For connecting to third-party meters, templates can optionally be created by the Berg service department.
